Abstract

This study aimed to evaluate the production performance of commercial laying hens at Kelompok Usaha Tiga Putri using key indicators, including feed consumption, Feed Conversion Ratio (FCR), Hen Day Production (HDP), egg weight, and mortality rate. A quantitative descriptive case study design was employed. Data were collected through direct observation, interviews, and production recording over a 30-day period involving 60 laying hens. The results indicate that feed consumption was relatively stable, with a total intake of 208,630 g and minimal feed residue, reflecting efficient feeding management. The average FCR value was 2.2, indicating good feed utilization efficiency. The average HDP reached 88%, categorized as high and within commercial production standards. Egg weight remained consistent at 59–60 g/egg, classified as medium to large size. The mortality rate was low at 2%, indicating favorable flock health conditions. Overall, the production system demonstrated good management efficiency in supporting laying hen productivity. However, improvement is still required in feed formulation, ration quality optimization, and housing environmental control to further enhance production efficiency and sustainability. The findings provide practical insights for improving laying hen management in small to medium-scale commercial poultry farms.

Abstract

Ethnoveterinary knowledge is an important component of local community knowledge concerning the use of plant resources to help manage livestock health problems. This study aimed to describe ethnoveterinary practices among cattle farmers and analyze the Use Value (UV) of plants utilized by the community in Lelekaa Village, Wolasi District, South Konawe Regency. The study employed a descriptive-exploratory approach combining qualitative and quantitative data. A total of 35 informants were selected through total sampling based on their involvement in cattle husbandry and knowledge of medicinal plant use. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews, observation, and documentation. Qualitative data were analyzed through data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing, while quantitative analysis used the Use Value index. The results showed that the community managed several groups of livestock health problems, including eye diseases (11 cases), oral cavity diseases (9 cases), digestive disorders and parasitic infections (8 cases), and skin diseases (7 cases). Five plant species were documented: Piper betle, Curcuma longa, Zingiber officinale, Alpinia galanga, and Annona muricata. The plant parts used were leaves and rhizomes, with preparation methods including boiling, crushing, squeezing, and mixing with feed, followed by oral or topical administration. The highest UV was recorded for Zingiber officinale (0.77), followed by Piper betle (0.69), Alpinia galanga (0.57), Annona muricata (0.49), and Curcuma longa (0.46). UV values indicate the relative level of utilization based on informant reports and do not constitute evidence of pharmacological effectiveness. Documenting this local ethnoveterinary knowledge is important as a foundation for further research on the safety and therapeutic effectiveness of medicinal plants used in cattle health management.

Abstract

This study aimed to analyze community responses to the Bali Cattle Development Program at UPTD Anduna, Laeya District, South Konawe Regency, and to identify the factors influencing community responses to program implementation. The study employed a qualitative approach with a descriptive method and was conducted at UPTD Anduna from October to November 2025. The study involved 15 informants who were directly involved in the program, including beneficiary farmers, UPTD personnel, and community leaders. Informants were selected using purposive sampling based on their involvement and knowledge of the program. Data were collected through observations, in-depth interviews, and documentation and were analyzed through data reduction, data display, conclusion drawing, and verification. Data trustworthiness was established through source and method triangulation. The findings indicate that community responses to the program were generally positive and participatory. In the cognitive dimension, most informants understood the objectives and benefits of the program, with 13 of 15 informants (86.7%) reporting awareness of the training and technical assistance provided by UPTD. In the affective dimension, community members demonstrated positive attitudes because the program was perceived as providing economic benefits and supporting livestock enterprise development. In the conative dimension, 12 of 15 farmers (80.0%) actively participated in training, cattle management, farmer-group activities, and implementation of technical recommendations. Community responses were influenced by internal factors, including knowledge, experience, and economic motivation, as well as external factors, including UPTD support, extension services, facilities, and farmer-group institutions. The main challenges included limited financial resources, unequal distribution of assistance, and insufficient intensity of extension activities. Program sustainability requires continuous technical assistance, equitable access to program support, stronger farmer groups, and improved farmer capacity.
